My name is Priyanka - Pri for short and I am 21 years old. I attend the University of Manitoba and have applied to the faculty of Human Ecology for Nutrition, as well as run on the universities track team. In my pare time aside from school and track, I enjoy working out and attending boxing classes! I am a hard working and easy going individual. I enjoy lightening up the mood and making people laugh; however, I know when to get down to business to get things done. I have worked as a babysitter for many years now. I stared off by taking care of younger cousins and nephews, then later moved to taking care of other peoples children as I gained more experience. I enjoy being surrounded by children - they bring such ease to everyone. I love being outdoors, playing sports, doing crafts and basically getting down to a child\'s level to understand them and what they enjoy doing - that way we can all have fun playing games, sports, doing activities, etc.
I have always had a passion for working with children. I enjoy interacting with children by getting down to their levels and taking part in their activities. My first job babysitting was for my younger cousin who was 6 at the time. I would play games, read to him, take him on walks to the park, and make sure he had enough to eat. As per my most recent babysitting experience, I babysat a 7 year old girl after school hours. I would make sure she finishes her homework, make dinner, go for walks to a nearby park, outdoor activities, play make believe games, and make sure she would be bathed and ready for bed. I occasionally babysat the 7 year old girl as well as her step brother and sister. This job required the same duties, however, more work as I had to make sure I gave equal attention to all 3 children. Also, in high school, I volunteered with the special needs program in my school, and the students varied in age. There were daily routines I assisted the students with, helped prepare lunch, participated in educational activities, and made sure the student was engaged in our conversation to improve their language skills. Recently I have volunteered as a Mentor to inner-city youth at the University of Manitoba with a program called CanU. Throughout the program we inspire hope and confidence in children.
